Acrylic painting in different styles (abstract, neo-impressionism, expressionism)

From 48.32 C$ /h

Hi there! I'm Liuba, a painter who’s genuinely in love with acrylics and all the creative mess they bring.
I work in various genres — abstract art, still life, landscapes, portraits, floral compositions — basically, if it sparks emotion, I paint it.

My artworks have found homes around the world through online galleries like Saatchi Art and Artfinder. But what I love just as much as painting is sharing the joy of it with others.

I offer fun and relaxed private art lessons for kids and adults — no pressure, just creativity and a lot of color. Whether you’re picking up a brush for the first time or want to loosen up your style, I’ll guide you through with patience and good humor (and maybe some paint on your sleeves).

I’m based in the Amsterdam area and happy to travel to your location within the region.

If you're looking for someone to help bring out the artist in your child — or yourself — I’d be thrilled to connect! 🎨

About Me

Hi! I’m Liuba — an artist and creative soul with a background in both fine art and interior design.
I studied Decorative and Applied Arts at an art college in Ukraine, and later earned a degree in Interior Design from university. For over a decade, I worked professionally in the interior design field — helping clients create beautiful spaces. But painting has always been my true passion.

I’ve been painting with acrylics for years, exploring different styles and subjects: from abstract pieces and floral compositions to landscapes, portraits, and still life. My artworks are sold internationally through online galleries like Saatchi Art and Artfinder.

I’ve also hosted several painting workshops for adults and teens — and it’s something I absolutely love doing. I believe creativity should be joyful, playful, and open to everyone, no matter their skill level.

In my lessons, I don’t just teach technique — I guide students to explore, express themselves, and enjoy the process of making something new.

I’m based in the Amsterdam area and happy to travel within the region for private lessons.
If you’re looking for someone to spark creative inspiration in your child (or yourself!) — I’d be delighted to join you on that journey 🎨

As an experienced teacher I teach photography and image editing. I learn camera technology, work with compact and studio flash units and work out concepts and my own style. I teach beginners, experienced photographers and professionals. I help companies set up and set up a photo studio and train staff to become a professional photographer.

We make a suitable lesson program depending on your experience and wishes.

We also have a number of courses in which we teach you the basic techniques of photography. We work with supportive beamer presentations and readers in which the treated lesson components are clearly described.

Below are a few examples of these courses:

Photography with your Smartphone

Would you like to learn more about photography with your Smartphone, Tablet or Compact Camera, then this is your chance.

In this introduction course we cover the various institutions in 3 hours to take even better photos.

We practice the different techniques during the lesson and discuss the results. In addition to technology, we are also talking about the composition, atmosphere and content of your photos.

You learn how to make beautiful portraits and how you can best photograph a landscape. You learn how to control the color and brightness of your photo.

We look at Apps to further expand the capabilities of your SmartPhone or Tablet and to edit, archive and share your photos with others.

Basic Photography Course

In this course you will learn the most important techniques of the digital camera. We cover the shutter speed, the aperture, and the ISO setting. We work with motion blur and the focusing system.

You learn to adjust the brightness and color of your photo and you assess the photos using the histogram and high light indicator. You learn the difference between JPG and RAW and how to set the correct amount of pixels.

We import the photos on the computer and organize, edit and save the results. We discuss photo printing via the photo shop or website.

We practice the different techniques during the lesson and discuss the results. In addition to technology, we are also talking about the composition, atmosphere and content of your photos.

Portrait photography

In this course you learn the different aspects of portrait photography. We work with existing light and learn how you can beautifully illuminate a model in the studio with artificial light. You learn to set a good white balance and to choose the best position and objective.

You will of course learn to look closely at the composition and directing your model. Because even photos that look spontaneous at first sight often require direction from the photographer.

In the reader that comes with the course, the various techniques of photography and image editing are clearly described so that you can get started with this at home.

Product photography

In this course you learn to photograph objects. For example your own artworks for your presentation folder or products for your own web store. You learn to set a good white balance and to choose the best position and objective.

For example, you learn how to illuminate jewelry and other 3D objects so that they are beautifully spatially added. We also handle the reproduction of paintings and drawings. In principle we work with artificial light in the studio, but you also learn how you can achieve a very good result without expensive studio lighting.

We import, organize and edit JPG and Raw files. We discuss the need for color management, the different file formats and the printing of photos

Working with flash units

In this course you will learn how to take beautiful pictures with a flash. We work with the built-in flash, compact flash units and studio flash units.

You learn the influence of aperture, shutter speed and ISO speed when working with a flash. With fill-in flashes we mix existing light and flash light. You learn to adjust the shade and color of the light.

We work with various tools to improve the flash. You learn to work with exposure compensation, slow sync, second shutter curtain and the Master and Slave function.

We practice the different techniques during the lesson and discuss the results. The technique is described in detail in the reader.

I am a multidisciplinary artist and designer with fifteen years of experience. I studied art and architecture at the École nationale supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris and the Columbia University in New York. I teach painting, drawing, digital image and creativity. This class is ideal for beginners but also intermediate students who want to develop their own style.

For my personal projects, I work in a wide range of mediums, from drawing, painting and printmaking to digital image and 3D Printing. When teaching, I prefer to first focus on free-hand drawing and painting as this allows for greater spontaneity regardless of the student's technical level. We later explore other methods based on the student's individual interests. I like to teach children and adults via mini projects involving art history references and help them develop narratives around their work. I deeply believe in people's creative potential and in my classes will help you channel your own voice.

Hello, hi :)
I'm Mia, your future private art tutor if you're interested!

I'm a visual artist working across different mediums, from more classical forms like drawing and painting to multimedia practices such as video and performance.

I graduated from a high school of art and design in France, continued my studies at the School of Fine Arts in Geneva HEAD, and I'm currently finishing a specialization in choreography at the Academy of Theatre and Dance in Amsterdam.

I'm offering a series of personalized art classes that can focus on various mediums, whether you're looking to explore new artistic tools, prepare for entrance exams to art schools, or simply nurture your curiosity. All ages and experience levels are welcome.

Here are three class options to start with:

Sketching and Drawing
Learn the basics of observational drawing and graphic composition. We can focus on a specific subject or go on walks to observe and draw what we see in our surroundings.

Video
An introduction to video basics and editing software. We’ll explore how to use cameras in a raw, intuitive way and understand the logic behind lighting and other technical tools.

Art School Preparation
Guidance in building a portfolio, formatting and laying out documents, and exploring different printing techniques. Ideal for those preparing to apply to art schools or looking to expand their artistic practice.

Feel free to reach out with questions or specific interests. I'm happy to adapt the classes to your needs.

(SOON : LESSONS IN DUTCH)

With a background melting classical and contemporary clarinet performance, to theatrical movement, masks, and storytelling, I bring a fresh approach to music education. My experience includes leading creative workshops for children through the Philharmonie de Paris and developing artistic projects for young audiences.

In my classes, we explore sound as character, rhythm as movement, and performance as story.
For me, the body is the key to learning : I guide students to develop their body awareness as part of learning, an approach often missing from traditional lessons.

We will explore:

Clarinet technique
Musical interpretation
Improvisation and creativity exercises
Stage presence, movement, and breathing
Connecting music to visual or theatrical elements
Bonus (if possible and committed!) :programming small performances for families, social gatherings, or cultural events

My teaching philosophy: Music is not only notes on a page, it’s a living art that connects body, breath, and imagination. I meet each student where they are, encouraging curiosity, confidence, and authentic expression.

Open to all ages and levels, from beginners discovering their first notes to advanced players seeking to deepen their artistry.

I teach digital painting with a focus on clarity, structure, and outcome. You’ll learn how to control digital brushes, build convincing lighting, use color intentionally, and create textures that add depth. We’ll move from the basics of composition to the challenges of designing characters, surreal environments, and expressive scenes.

By the end, you’ll produce portfolio-ready artworks and understand a professional workflow from sketch to finish. Each session combines hands-on exercises with discussion of artistic choices, so you strengthen both technical skill and creative judgment.

This course is for beginners and intermediate artists who want to go beyond tutorials and actually build a body of polished, original work.

Painting has been always my passion since childhood and even perusing my study in medicine could not stop me from learning this passion. Now I would love to share my experience with other painting lovers by teaching watercolor techniques. While drawing skills are highly appreciated, for beginners with no painting/drawing experience my courses can be useful and by the end of each course students can have a piece of art made by themselves!

Digital Art – from idea to independent work

In this course, I'll teach you the basics of digital art. We'll start with the foundation: how to translate ideas into images, how to work digitally with layers, shapes, color, and composition, and how to use different techniques and tools within a single creative process.

My focus is on thinking as a creator. I teach you not only how to create digital art, but especially how to justify choices, experiment, and develop your own direction. I see digital tools as an extension of your creativity, not an end in themselves.

After this course:

understand the basic principles of digital art

you can independently create digital artworks

develop your sense of visual language, style and concept

do you have tools to grow and deepen yourself further?

This course is designed for students and creatives who want to use digital art as a fully-fledged form of expression — with freedom, control, and a signature style.
